The pathological way of looking at ADHD or ADD is to see something wrong, some illness.
The hunter's view is to see someone who is ever-vigilant, watching his or her environment with non-stop almost tiring energy.
The farmer's view is to see someone who is so intensely focused on what is truly important to them rather than someone who is not paying attention to "the little things" we think are important.
Treat it like an illness, like something is wrong with your child and he or she will act wrong. Focus on the strengths or the positives and your child will show you positives.
